New York, Aug. 1s.-At Monmouth
Park to-day the enjoyment of the day was
married 10y an exceedingly unpleasant bet
ting dispute and disturbance in front of the
judges stand. For the selling race, The
Bourbon, though marked as "A starter on the
board, was enormously scratched in the
betting ring. At the last minute
he was marked as a starter, and bets went
on him. As luck had it The Bourbon won
Then a shout arose as all the people who had
claimed that The Bourbon was not starter
when they bet their money. The judges de
cided that Bourbon finished first, and Luna
Brown second, and that bets should be paid
accordingly.
This of course was decision greatly in
favor OF the bookmakers, as only few of
them had laid against The Bourbon. Two
firms, Cridge & Co, and Appleby q John
son acted honorable and announced that
they would pay Luna Brown and Relax bets

There arrived in the city yesterday
a bright and vivacious young person
from Kansas by the name of Nellie f.
Bailey. who has a history worth reading.
She came here with letters Of introduc-
ton from Governor Masten, of Kansas,
Governor Adams, of Colorado, George
Ady, commander of the G. A. R. depart
ment of Colorado, and several other part
les of note and prominence. Miss Bailey
was one of a party of eight who was ar
rested in the Indian territory on the
charge of dispatching a young English
nobleman Zone of the party who COM
mitted suicide. The party. however,
were all acquitted on the trial.
Miss Bailsy's story has been written
and published In a neatly bound book of
some 600 pages, finely illustrated. Miss
Bailey, who is an exceeding pretty and
intelligent young lady, is here for the
purpose Of selling her book.

Considerable interest has lately been
manifested in a statement published by
N. Villon, a French chemist well known
for scientific research, that he has discov-
cred an alkaloid poison of pronounced
characteristics in decayed animal tissues.
This poison is quite powerful, a dose of
five centigrams being sufficient to kill a
dog. The interesting point in NJ. villon's
researches is the fact that in his investi-
cations he applied tests to spoiled flour,
because Of the likeness of the gluten to
animal fbrin, and in that way discovered
the poisonous alkaloid. Spoiled and de-
cayed flour has a peculiar appearance and
a foul, %caustic, pungent, bitter flavor. 1t
tastes hot and singing, somewhat like
pepper, according to the stage of decom-
position. Dough made from it is also
bitter to the taste and offensive to smell,
and it crumbles in hot water and affects
injuriously the stomach. Plaques have
been attributed to the use of decayed
flour, the great plague of 1902 in Rome
being cited as an instance. Wheat flour
spoils very easily, especially in the
months between March and August,
when a fermentation sets in that goes on
through the succeeding months until the
spelling is complete. Boston Budget.

The people of Laramie county might as
well begin to open their eyes to the fact
that a new court house is now needed, as
to wait two or three years and then be
convinced that such is the case. THE
LEADER, in making the above statement,
does not undertake to state its W views
particularly, but the same is based princi-
pally upon what those who are familiar
with the wants and needs of Laramie
county say and hold upon this subject.
Nearly every grand jury which has been
in session for the past few years have
either said or limited in their final report
that a new court house is needed, or that
the present one be enlarged, and nearly
all observing men who are familiar with
the subject are of the same opinion. 1t
would be well for our people to begin to
think this matter over seriously.

We once had the privilege of looking
at a number of rare coins and medals.
The collection, the estimated value of
which was more than $40, 900, was ar
ranged in a number of shallow drawers,
each fastened by a spring lock. Noticing
that the owner was careful to close one
drawer, and to be certain that 1t was
locked, before opening another, we ex-
pressed surprise.
"Ah!' he answered, '.you don't know
the immortality of collectors. There are
very few of them who regard the tenth
commandment, and many Of them will
break the eighth in order to obtain a
coveted coin. Experience has made me
cautious. don't distrust you, for you
are not a collector; but I've formed the
habit of shutting one drawer before open
ing another, and l do it even when l am
alone"

A QUESTION OF TINE.
Gold the whole Length Of Crow
Greek.

For many years it has been well known
to the miners and old timers that there is
gold to be found in the bed and along the
valley of Grow creek. From time to time
for n number of years-in fact ever since
this region Of country WIS first settled
gold has been found, and on several oc-
casions in paying quantities, near the
headwaters of the creek. On one of
these occasions gold to the amount of
$7.15 was taken out in one pocket right
in the middle of the stream several miles
above Cheyenne. There has been scarcely
a season within the past twelve years
when from one to four or five prospecting
parties did not go out along the headwa-
tiers of the creek in search of gold. This
is not all. Here. close by us. above and
below the city and now within its limits,
colors of gold have been found and can
be found to day. Miners and Others ia
miliar with the subject say that there is
such a thing as fine gold powder-so fine
in fact that you cannot get a color
which if any process could be invented
whereby it could be separated from the
earth and water, would yield a large
amour of the precious metal.
These miners say, and always have
said, that the bed of Crow creek is full
OF this gold powder, and hat it is con-
stantly flowing and working down in the
water, and that fortunes will hereafter be
made right along here on the banks and
shores OF Crow creek so soon as some way
is discovered to catch and save it and to
separate it from the dirt.
These ideas may seem preposterous to
some. and yet there is hardly an old
miner in Wyoming to-day who will not
agree that such are the facts, and that it
is only a question Of time when the dirt
and sand now found in the bed of Grow
creek will, or might, be sold by the
bushel and bring a good price.

The First Ducks.

We might as well make up our minds
that the winter is over. The ice which
was to have been put up to the extent of
some 5000 tons or more has collapsed In
the lakes and is rapidly disappearing.
The ducks have also made their appear
ance on Lake Mahpeahlutah in large
numbers and are beginning to be inter
viewed by u hunters. John Tomlins is
the first one to exhibit practical results in
this direction. Toward the close of yes
terday afternoon Mr.. Tomlins with his
dog and gun went up to the lake, and
about 6 o'clock returned with ten large
fat ducks which will no doubt Put in IN
appearance at somebody's dinner in
Cheyenne to-day.

Bailing Rabbit.

An effort is to be made to procure bail
for Rabbit, the party now in Jail and
bound over to the next term of court on a
charge of obtaining some s72 from one of
our citizens on a forged check. Rabbit
is a resident of Fort Collins, and half a
dozen leading citizens of that place have
united in sending to Col. A. S. Emery
powers of attorney, authorizing him to
sign their names to any bail bond or other
document necessary to be signed in pro-
curing bail for Babbitt. The wife of the
prisoner came up from Fort Collins, but
returned yesterday. As Judge Maginnis
is u of the city and will not return until
next Saturday, no application for the re-
lease of Babbitt on bail will be made be-
fore next Monday.

The board of county commissioners
were in session again yesterday, Messrs.
Swan and Hunton, however, being the
only members of the board present.
The attention of the board was almost
exclusively given yesterday to the consid-
Grafton of bills, which were in most cases
allowed, although a few were laid over
for further consideration. The reports OF
Treasurer Bergman and County Clerk
Jeffrey in reference to licenses issued
were presented, found to be correct and
placed on file.
The board adjourned until 10 o'clock
this morning, at which time the board
will take up for consideration the matter
of roads. etc.

UseruI ana HurtfuI medicines.

There is a certain class of remedies for
constipation absolutely useless. There
are boluses and potions made in great
part of podophyllin, aloes, rhubarb, gam
boge and other worthless Ingredients. The
damage they do to the stomachs of those
who use them is i%ncalculablc. They evac-
uate the bowels, it is true, but always do
30 violently and p%rofusely, and besides,
grippe the bowels. Their effect is to weak
en- both them and the stomach. Better
far to use the agreeable and ~salutary aper-
lent, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the
laxative effect of which is never preceded
by pain or accompanied by a convulsive.
violent action Of the bowels. On the
contrary, it invigorates those organs, the
stomach and the entire system. AS n
means Of curing and preventing malarial
@fevers, no medicine can compare with it,
and it remedies nervous debility, rheu-
matism, kidney and bladder inactivity and
other inorganic ailments.

WINTER NOTES.
Common Occurrences in and About
the City.
Matters of Minor Importance
Hastily Gathered.

The weather yesterday was spring like
and warm.
There are several ranchmen in the city
from the North.
The Thomas forgery case will probably
be disposed of to day.
There appears to be but little snow in
the country, either in this portion Of the
county or further north.
The county commissioners are giving
considerable attention to the subject of
roads at this present series of sessions.
What on earth is going to happen?
There hasn't been a shooting affair at
Lusk for more than three weeks.
Some fellow fell down and smashed a
bottle of yeast on Sixteenth street early
last evening. The fellow arose. but the
yeast didn't.
From present indications there will
have to be a considerable extension of the
water works system put in during the
coming season. .
There were further tests made of the
new fire alarm system yesterday. 1t will
probably be several days before the sys-
TEN will be accepted by the city.
Business was quite lively in the city
yesterday and the faces of our business
men were covered with smiles instead of
CHASTITY grins, as is sometimes the case.
The NJ. f. lyceum at the Methodist
church this evening is to be turned into
Longfellow memorial exercises in which
some of the best talent Of the city will
take part.
The prospective j. 7. Clark hose house
to be erected by the city, will not be such
a building as, under certain cercum-
stances, may be built by the railroad
company.
County Attorney Stoll has been in at
tendance at the recent meetings of the
board Of commissioners for the purpose
of giving advice in relation to matters of
interest to the county.
+ Another batch of the Bancroft history
has made its appearance in Cheyenne,
and there is a corresponding increase in
the size of the contents Of many waste
baskets in the Magic City.
The policemen made tteir appearance
in their new uniforms yesterday. Thorn.
asson looked like Gen. Hancock. Nolan
like Phil. Sheridan, Goddard like Colds
borough and Sullivan like the Duke oil
Wellington. Marshal Schnitger in hi:
new uniform and gold () buttons looked
very imposing and majestic, and struck
terror into the hearts of many evil doors
as he stalked abroad with a kingly step.

Minnehaha, Again.
Hiawatha's wooing, according to Long
fellow, occurred near the spot

"OOihSt oeSOidihB W ifohH
fellow, occurred near the spot
Where the Falls of Minnehaha
Flash and CLEAN among the oak trees
Laugh and leap Into the valley"
and while there are no falls particularly
about our Mnnehaha, from present APP
pearances that beautiful little sheet OF
water bids fair to become a place where
any amount of secondhand wooing can be
carried on to great advantage. The lake is
not only to be filled to its utmost capacity
with water from the chain of lakes above
the city (the water was turned in yester-
day and is now running) but it has been
stated on pretty high municipal authority,
that Of Alderman Altman, chairman Of
the council committee on public parks,
etc, that 1000 trees are to be set out
around the lake during the coming spring.
This is not all, for certain public spirited
citizens living in the eastern portion of
the city, such as Harry Bush, Hon. T. B.
Adams, G.. B. Goodell, Col. A. 7. Bah
bitt, and others propose to chip in and
have a good substantial fence built around
the entire lake. Altogether lake Mime
haha is to be made a very attractive spot
and one which will be an ornament to
Cheyenne.

Cattle at Large.

There are at present a number of cattle
roaming at large in Cheyenne. and when
interviewed on the subject yesterday some
of the policemen said there was no longer
any use in trying to keep them within
bounds. This is perhaps well enough at
this time of the year, for there is but lit
tie damage to be done by the strolling
animals just at present, and while there
seems to be some degree of inconsistency
in seeing uniformed policemen marching
up the street in one direction and Jones'
old COW and calf and Smith heifers and
steers coming down street in another, it
should be remembered that it is only by
degrees hat a town becomes entirely
metropolitan in all respects.
, 1887-03-03

The people in the western portion of
the city want q county road laid out from
the west end of Twenty-seventh street to
the Camp Carlin road so hat they can
have ar outlet in the direction of Fort
Russell and beyond. Now that there is
no longer a right of way through the fair
grounds the people OF the west end are
virtually shut off in that direction. This
matter is now being considered by the
county commissioners, and it is quite pro-
bable that some action will be taken on
the subject to-day.
